The reason I'd like to see it isn't so that make world kills things
automatically, but so that I could kill them (or at least find out
what should be killed) on systems that had FreeBSD 1.0 installed on
them, then upgraded, disk cloned, etc. At one point I had 4 machines
that were created by this method from my original FreeBSD
installation. However, I don't think I have anything further back
than 2.2.8 or 3.2 as the base of a system right now due to EOL on
spinning media, lapses in backup discipline, etc.
